Introducing the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control 30th Anniversary Limited Edition
This year is the 30th anniversary of Master Control and to mark the date, Jaeger-LeCoultre launches two limited editions of 800 pieces each, the Master Control Date and the Master Control Calendar which are distinguished by their deep blue dials with a sunray finish.
Both watches come with a 40mm diameter stainless steel case and a smooth bezel with an alternating polished and brushed finish, sapphire crystal on the front and case back and 50 meters of water resistance. On the blue dials, applied plated Arabic numbers and faceted triangles, dauphine hands and small hour dots all filled with luminescent material.
The Master Control Date also comes with a date window at 3 o’clock on the dial, and inside it is powered by the self-winding Caliber 899AC that offers up to 70 hours of power reserve.
As for the Master Control Calendar, it adds a dual inline day and month window at 12 o’clock, small-seconds with moon phase at 6 o’clock and an extra central hand with a red tip that provides the date with the help of a 31-day painted inner ring, which comes with a jump mechanism that allows the hand to jump from the 15th to the 16th day without ever covering the small seconds and the moon phase dial. Inside it’s powered by the self-winding Caliber 866AA, which is barely 1mm thicker than the Master Control Date’s Caliber but that offers exactly the same 70 hours of power reserve.
Both watches are offered with a leather strap matching the tone of the dial and prices are available on request.
